Note: Data rates in the LoRaWAN specification vary by geographic region. Range Variables effecting the range include TX power, antenna gain, RX sensitivity, fade margin, earth's curvature. Use the following formula to calculate the maximum range: 20 MultiConnect® xDotTM MTXDOT Developer Guide CHAPTER 4 SPECIFICATIONS AND PIN INFORMATION The following table provides example settings and the theoretical maximum range based on these settings. Example 18dB Transmit Power for 915 MHz Models Units Example 14dB Transmit Power for 868MHz Models Frequency 915 MHz 868 TX Power 19 dBm 14 dB RX Sensitivity -120 dBm -120 RX Antenna Gain dB Fade Margin2 30 dB 30 Distance 8.14 Miles 5.41 Distance 13.08 Km 8.70 TX Antenna Gain RX Sensitivity is set to a conservative -120dBm, but can vary from -117 to -137dBm. Fade Margin is set at the worst case of 30dB. Fade margin is an allowance a system designer includes to account for unknown variables. The higher the fade margin, the better the overall link quality will be. With a fade margin set to zero, the link budget is still valid, but only in LOS conditions, which is not practical for most designs. The amount of fade margin to include in a calculation depends on the environment in which you will deploy the system. A fade margin of 12 dBm is good, but a better number would be 20 to 30 dBm. MultiConnect® xDotTM MTXDOT Developer Guide 21 CHAPTER 5 ANTENNAS Chapter 5 Antennas Antenna System The LoRa antenna performance depends on the implementation and antenna design. The integration of the antenna system into the product is a critical part of the design process; therefore, it is essential to consider it early so the performance is not compromised. If changes are made to the device's certified antenna system, then recertification will be required. This radio transmitter has been tested with both the Pulse and Ethertronics antennas listed below. If you follow our design guidelines, you do not need to re-certify your design. The antenna you use must maintain the same specifications. It must be of the same type, with similar in-band and out-of-band radiation patterns. Antennas having a greater gain than the maximum gain indicated for the listed type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device. U.FL and Trace Antenna Options If using U.FL or trace antennas, note the following: ■ For a simple trace to RF antennas: Routing must follow standard RF design rules and practices for stripline/miscrostrip for a 50 ohm impedance line. Use the developer board schematics for a reference circuit for the a trace antenna. ■ For U.FL antennas: The antenna and cable combination in your design cannot exceed the performance of the SMA antenna as listed in the next topic. ■ The xDot Developer Board includes an Ethertronics M620710-1K chip antenna, which by default connects the xDot to the chip antenna. Only one antenna, either U.FL or chip, may be used at a time. To use the xDot’s U.FL connector, remove resistor C23 and L1, marked on the following image, to disconnect the chip antenna. 22 MultiConnect® xDotTM MTXDOT Developer Guide CHAPTER 5 ANTENNAS Pulse Electronics Antenna Manufacturer: Pulse Electronics Description: 868-915 MHz RP-SMA Antenna, 8" Model Number: W1063 MultiTech Part Number: 45009830L MultiTech ordering information: Ordering Part Number Quantity AN868-915A-1HRA AN868-915A-10HRA 10 AN868-915A-50HRA 50 Antenna Specifications Category Description Frequency Range 868-928 MHz Impedance 50 Ohms VSWR < 2.0 Gain 3.0 dBi Radiation Omni MultiConnect® xDotTM MTXDOT Developer Guide 23 CHAPTER 5 ANTENNAS Category Description Polarization Vertical RSMA-to-U.FL Coaxial Cables Coaxial Cable Specifications Optional antenna cables can be ordered from MultiTech Cable Type Coaxial Cable Attenuation <1.0db Connector Impedance 50 ohm Maximum Cable Length 16" (40 cm) Ordering Information 24 Part Number Description CARSMA-UFL-1 RSMA-to-UFL Coax Cable (Single Pack) CARSMA-UFL-10 RSMA-to-UFL Coax Cable (Ten Pack) CARSMA-UFL-100 RSMA-to-UFL Coax Cable (One Hundred Pack) MultiConnect® xDotTM MTXDOT Developer Guide CHAPTER 5 ANTENNAS Ethertronics Chip Antenna This is the developer board's default antenna.

MultiConnect® xDotTM MTXDOT Developer Guide 27 CHAPTER 5 ANTENNAS Chip Antenna Design Guidelines When designing antenna placement for the chip antenna, note the following: ■ The antenna's long side must be along the edge of the ground plane. ■ Remove the ground plane from all layers below the antenna. ■ The distance from the antenna to the enclosure or plastic cover should be greater than 1.5 mm. The distance from the antenna to relatively large perturbations, such as a shield or large components, depends on the height of surrounding components. It should not be less than 1.5mm. We recommend a distance equal to or greater than 10mm from the end of the antenna to either end of the PCB distance. Performance is better from larger distances. Use the recommended land pattern shown in the figures below. Land patterns are composed of a 50 ohm line connected to each antenna feed point. Ground clearance around and under the antenna as shown in the PCB layout is recommended to maximize antenna performance. 28 MultiConnect® xDotTM MTXDOT Developer Guide CHAPTER 5 ANTENNAS Antenna Pad Layout PCB Layout MultiConnect® xDotTM MTXDOT Developer Guide 29 CHAPTER 5 ANTENNAS OEM Integration FCC & IC Information to Consumers The user manual for the consumer must contain the statements required by the following FCC and IC regulations: 47 C.F.R. 15.19(a)(3), 15.21, 15.105 and RSS-Gen Issue 4 Sections 8.3 and 8.4.

S'il ne respecte pas cette consigne, le responsable peut voir son accès aux services cellulaires suspendu ou interdit, peut être poursuivi en justice, ou les deux. ■ Éteignez votre appareil sans fil à proximité des pompes à essence ou de diesel avant de remplir le réservoir de votre véhicule de carburant. MultiConnect® xDotTM MTXDOT Developer Guide 31 CHAPTER 6 SAFETY INFORMATION ■ Éteignez votre appareil sans fil dans les hôpitaux ou dans toutes les zones où des appareils médicaux sont susceptibles d'être utilisés. Interference with Pacemakers and Other Medical Devices Potential interference Radio frequency energy (RF) from cellular devices can interact with some electronic devices. This is electromagnetic interference (EMI). The FDA helped develop a detailed test method to measure EMI of implanted cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators from cellular devices. This test method is part of the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) standard. This standard allows manufacturers to ensure that cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are safe from cellular device EMI. The FDA continues to monitor cellular devices for interactions with other medical devices. If harmful interference occurs, the FDA will assess the interference and work to resolve the problem. Precautions for pacemaker wearers If EMI occurs, it could affect a pacemaker in one of three ways: ■ Stop the pacemaker from delivering the stimulating pulses that regulate the heart's rhythm. ■ Cause the pacemaker to deliver the pulses irregularly. ■ Cause the pacemaker to ignore the heart's own rhythm and deliver pulses at a fixed rate. Based on current research, cellular devices do not pose a significant health problem for most pacemaker wearers. However, people with pacemakers may want to take simple precautions to be sure that their device doesn't cause a problem. ■ Keep the device on the opposite side of the body from the pacemaker to add extra distance between the pacemaker and the device. ■ Avoid placing a turned-on device next to the pacemaker (for example, don’t carry the device in a shirt or jacket pocket directly over the pacemaker). Device Maintenance When maintaining your device: ■ Do not attempt to disassemble the device. There are no user serviceable parts inside. ■ Do not expose your device to any extreme environment where the temperature or humidity is high. ■ Do not expose the device to water, rain, or spilled beverages. It is not waterproof. ■ Do not place the device alongside computer discs, credit or travel cards, or other magnetic media. The information contained on discs or cards may be affected by the device. ■ Using accessories, such as antennas, that MultiTech has not authorized or that are not compliant with MultiTech's accessory specifications may invalidate the warranty. If the device is not working properly, contact MultiTech Technical Support. User Responsibility Respect all local regulations for operating your wireless device. Use the security features to block unauthorized use and theft. 32 MultiConnect® xDotTM MTXDOT Developer Guide CHAPTER 7 REGULATORY INFORMATION Chapter 7 Regulatory Information EMC, Safety, and R&TTE Directive Compliance The CE mark is affixed to this product to confirm compliance with the following European Community Directives: Council Directive 2014/30/EU on the approximation of the laws of Member States relating to electromagnetic compatibility; and Council Directive 2014/35/EU on the harmonization of the laws of Member States relating to electrical equipment designed for use within certain voltage limits; and Council Directive 2011/65/EU on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment; and Council Directive 1999/5/EC on radio equipment and telecommunications terminal equipment and the mutual recognition of their conformity. 47 CFR Part 15 Regulation Class B Devices This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.

Noise suppression is essential to the proper operation and performance of the modem and surrounding equipment. Any OEM board design must consider both on-board and off-board generated noise that can affect digital signal processing. Both on-board and off-board generated noise that is coupled on-board can affect interface signal levels and quality. Noise in frequency ranges that affect modem performance is of particular concern. On-board generated electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise that can be radiated or conducted off-board is equally important. This type of noise can affect the operation of surrounding equipment. Most local government agencies have certification requirements that must be met for use in specific environments. Proper PC board layout (component placement, signal routing, trace thickness and geometry, and so on) component selection (composition, value, and tolerance), interface connections, and shielding are required for the board design to achieve desired modem performance and to attain EMI certification. Other aspects of proper noise-suppression engineering practices are beyond the scope of this guide. Consult noise suppression techniques described in technical publications and journals, electronics and electrical engineering text books, and component supplier application notes. PC Board Layout Guideline In a 4-layer design, provide adequate ground plane covering the entire board. In 4-layer designs, power and ground are typically on the inner layers. Ensure that all power and ground traces are 0.05 inches wide. The recommended hole size for the device pins is 0.036 in. +/-0.003 in. in diameter. Use spacers to hold the device vertically in place during the wave solder process. Electromagnetic Interference The following guidelines are offered specifically to help minimize EMI generation. Some of these guidelines are the same as, or similar to, the general guidelines. To minimize the contribution of device-based design to EMI, you must understand the major sources of EMI and how to reduce them to acceptable levels. ■ Keep traces carrying high frequency signals as short as possible. ■ Provide a good ground plane or grid. In some cases, a multilayer board may be required with full layers for ground and power distribution. ■ Decouple power from ground with decoupling capacitors as close to the device's power pins as possible. ■ Eliminate ground loops, which are unexpected current return paths to the power source and ground. ■ Decouple the telephone line cables at the telephone line jacks. Typically, use a combination of series inductors, common mode chokes, and shunt capacitors. Methods to decouple telephone lines are similar to decoupling power lines; however, telephone line decoupling may be more difficult and deserves additional attention. A commonly used design aid is to place footprints for these components and populate as necessary during performance/EMI testing and certification. ■ Decouple the power cord at the power cord interface with decoupling capacitors. Methods to decouple power lines are similar to decoupling telephone lines. 50 MultiConnect® xDotTM MTXDOT Developer Guide CHAPTER 12 DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS ■ Locate high frequency circuits in a separate area to minimize capacitive coupling to other circuits. ■ Locate cables and connectors to avoid coupling from high frequency circuits. ■ Lay out the highest frequency signal traces next to the ground grid. ■ If using a multilayer board design, make no cuts in the ground or power planes and be sure the ground plane covers all traces. ■ Minimize the number of through-hole connections on traces carrying high frequency signals. ■ Avoid right angle turns on high frequency traces. Forty-five degree corners are good; however, radius turns are better. ■ On 2-layer boards with no ground grid, provide a shadow ground trace on the opposite side of the board to traces carrying high frequency signals. This will be effective as a high frequency ground return if it is three times the width of the signal traces. ■ Distribute high frequency signals continuously on a single trace rather than several traces radiating from one point. Electrostatic Discharge Control Handle all electronic devices with precautions to avoid damage due to the static charge accumulation. See the ANSI/ESD Association Standard (ANSI/ESD S20.20-1999) – a document “for the Development of an Electrostatic Discharge Control for Protection of Electrical and Electronic Parts, Assemblies and Equipment.” This document covers ESD Control Program Administrative Requirements, ESD Training, ESD Control Program Plan Technical Requirements (grounding/bonding systems, personnel grooming, protected areas, packaging, marking, equipment, and handling), and Sensitivity Testing. MultiTech strives to follow these recommendations. Input protection circuitry is incorporated in MultiTech devices to minimize the effect of static buildup. Take precautions to avoid exposure to electrostatic discharge during handling. MultiTech uses and recommends that others use anti-static boxes that create a faraday cage (packaging designed to exclude electromagnetic fields). MultiTech recommends that you use our packaging when returning a product and when you ship your products to your customers.

Warning: Maximum temperature for these trays is 65° C. Programming External Targets You can use the xDot developer board to program external targets. To do this: 1. 2. Connect header JP1 to your target board with a 9-position ribbon cable.1 Apply power to your target board. MultiConnect® xDotTM MTXDOT Developer Guide 53 CHAPTER 13 MOUNTING XDOTS AND PROGRAMMING EXTERNAL TARGETS 3. When the xDot developer board detects a target voltage on Pin 1 of header JP1, it redirects the mbed programming interface to the external target. You can use the mbed programming environment as normal to program and debug the external target. MultiTech recommends the Samtec FFSD-05-D-06.00-01-N ribbon cable. JTAG/SWD Connector The developer board uses an unshrouded 10-pin header. Suitable connector headers include: ■ Harwin: M50-3500542 ■ Mouser: 855-M50-3500542 ■ Samtec shrouded header: FTSH-105-01-F-D-K The Samtec FTSH-105 header dimensions are 0.25"x 0.188" (6.35mm x 4.78mm). Ensure that you connect your cable correctly, typically by matching the "1" marked on the board to the cable's red stripe. 54 MultiConnect® xDotTM MTXDOT Developer Guide INDEX Index schematics
